I am selling a
number of S Scale items for people who contacted me for help
selling their collections.
I've created eight
new S Scale pages and updated the rest so my complete inventory is
now online. Check it out! But I am still working on these For Sale
pages to provide more detailed notes to better describe the
condition of many items and to reflect updated Greenberg book
values. If you'd like more information about any one or more
items, email me; I'll dig them out and provide any information
you'd like.
For reference
purposes, I show an estimated book value for most items, adjusted
for condition. These
should not be interpreted as firm, fixed asking prices. Make an
offer I can't refuse!
Items that I have
not yet evaluated and priced are shown with a condition of “TBD”
and price of “ask.” If you are interested in one of
these, email me and I will check it out for you.
If
you are interested in buying an item shown here, email me:
theupstairstrain@gmail.com.
Please include your mailing address so I can calculate shipping
charges and send you an invoice with the total.
Shipping
cost will be actual cost via Priority Mail (for large or heavy
items) or First Class mail (for small, light items), and I will
happily ship items together to minimize shipping costs. I ship
everything insured unless you accept full liability for loss or
damage in shipment.
Submit payment by
ZellePay, bank check, or personal check. Don't waste your money on
a money order or cashier's check.
As much as I would
like to, it is impractical to provide pictures of all these items
because there are so many and because things keep flying off the
shelves. Pictures are available on request.
Because
I have so many items for sale, I am splitting the list up onto
thirteen web pages:
